WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw assistance from Argentina if its internal politics don’t align with his interests in upcoming elections. The comments were made during a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei, who faces midterm elections later this month. Trump criticized an opponent as “extremely far-left” and warned that U.S. support would not continue if Milei doesn’t succeed. The U.S. has provided $20 billion in aid to Argentina, which Trump described as helping a “great philosophy” take over. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed confidence in Milei’s coalition continuing its reform agenda.
